Chapter 24: In Which He Cares
She felt too jittery to fall asleep and there was no way sleep would come easy to her without him especially not this Nigel and especially not when she had gotten so used to sleeping on top of him, all warm and snuggly.
"You really think I would leave you all alone, tonight of all nights? I would die worrying about your baby. You've already given me several heart attacks today to at least last a lifetime I am not letting you out of my sight if I can help it" Alexander said talking a seat beside her on the bed.

"Do I have to get on that thing" Isla said making a face towards the wheelchair that was perched in front of her."You can use crutches ma'am but it's recommended that you don't strain your foot at all, it will help fasten up the recovery plus it won't be very convenient to use the stairs with crutches" Alexander put her options in front of her as the maid set up the wheelchair and put the crutches by the wall.Isla knew that even though Alexander was being formal and had laid out her options in front of her and even though she wanted to rather take the crutches, she knew those hard eyes giving her that look, silently communicating to her that she better take the wheelchair or she would definitely hear an ear full from her boyfriend the next time they are alone.She gave him a dirty look before saying begrudgingly "Fine, the wheelchair it is then""Wise choice ma'am I'll help you onto it, if you wish so" he offered."That would be helpful, thank yo

Alexander cracked his knuckles by his sides as he strode into the Siegel mansion in Italy along with 30 other Gambino men behind him.Yes, that's right, Italy, Mr. Gambino had sent Alexander to Italy on a mission to help out his son in law, Jamerson to gain back control on his compound which the Seigel family just lost to a rival party.Hence, Alexander begrudgingly had to come to Italy even though the last thing he wanted to do was leave Isla when even though she had made greatrecovery she was still on crutches, plus, she had cried for a good hour and then some more when he told her he had to leave for a whole week.It was endearing and scary how much the girl had gotten attached to him in this period of time and he'd be damned if he didn't miss her just as much as she did if not more.He missed the weight of her body on his every morning waking up, her soft kisses, the sounds of her means, her mindless blabbering, her cooki

Alexander took off his coat which had a bullet hole on the side from when he had barely escaped it inside as he left the compound that they had gained back. Finally, he could go back home.However, that thought went down the drain when he overheard some of the Gambino men talking."Miss Gambino's flight lands in half an hour, we should get going" Alexander stopped them in their tracks to inquire."What is this about Miss Gambino and her flight?" he questioned and one of them gulped before answering."Well, we received the info just this morning that we are to receive Miss. Gambino from the private port in half an hour just this morning, her flight lands here at 5"That came as a surprise to Alexander as he dismissed them. Isla didn't mention her arrival on the phone when they had talked just the day before, at night and neither had Mr. Gambino but hearing this news made him a little impatient to see her because now that he knew, t

The car came to a halt in front of the five star hotel that the whole Gambino security team was staying at.Alexander got out of the car tossing the keys to the valet before someone else had the chance to help her out. At least this time he didn't carry her out and saved her the embarrassment of being carried through the hotel lobby plus, it would have been pretty suspicious, he already crossed the line a little when he received her at the airport.So instead much to her annoyance she had to use the crutches which she had grown tired of but her ankle still needed the support.The whole security team had to walk slower because of her but not a peep of protest was heard from any of them."It's a big hotel, you'll have a long walk to the room, I can get you your wheel chair if you'd like" Alexander offered from beside herand she contemplated his offer. It was hard walking with the crutches and it would tale forever for her to get to the room on them plus it

"How come you never mentioned that you'd be coming to Italy yesterday on the phone when we talked? was this supposed to be a surprise of sorts?" Alexander asked.After their intimate bath they just sat on the king sized bed in each other's company, with Isla snuggled up to him as he affectionately ran his fingers through her soft silky hair."Well no not really, it wasn't meant to be a surprise or anything infact I didn't even know I'd be coming to Italy when we were talking on the phone it was like midnight when dad informed me that I had a flight early at like 5 Am in the morning to Italy and then after that I packed and got like an hour sleep before having to leave but I guess it turned out to be a nice surprise" she explained offering him a smile."It did, too bad you have a dinner date with that sleazy bastard" His jaw clenched at the thought of the dinner from hell that Isla will be attending.She too scrunched up her face at the impending doo

"It's always charming to see my beautiful bride to be,I am glad you could make it despite your injury,I was missing your beautiful face and as always, you look quite ravishing my dear" Jamerson said with a smirk on his face that annoyed Alexander to no end."It's g... good T .. to see you too" Isla spoke as a manner of greeting."Well come on in with me deal, I have a few friends who I'd like you to meet" Jamerson placed his hand on the small of Isla's back as he started guiding her inside those tinted doors.Alexander started walking behind them as well when Isla looked over her shoulder at him but he was stopped in his tracks by one of Jamerson's men which did not go well for him considering that Alexander shoved him away pretty hard causing him to fall and before the man could get up and fight him, Jamerson broke it off."Hey, Hey Alexander, we have enough security alarms inside, and a full security team at my disposal outside, we like to keep our deal

The bastard could be doing anything with his girl and he wouldn't know, he hated this feeling of being helpless.He looked at his wrist watch which now read 12am and there was no way he was going another minute without knowing what was up with Isla.He was about to barge in with every intention of beating up anyone who tried to stop him but before it could come to that, the door opened and one of the servers from inside came out."Is there a Mr Rossi out here?" She asked looking around and Alexander immediately stepped forward."I am" he said and she turned towards him."Oh, alright, Mr. Seigel is calling you inside" she informed and Alexander didn't need to be told twice as with in a second he
